Jamaican Till I Die!

Chair of the Caribbean community, Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, sends out a message to the Caribbean Community Good day. I speak to all our Caribbean brothers and sisters today, not as the Prime Minister of Barbados, but in my capacity as chair of the Caribbean Community. Our world is in crisis. I will not sugarcoat it. These are among the most challenging of times for our region since the majority of our members gained their independence. Indeed, it is the most difficult period our world has faced since the end of World War II, 80 years ago. Our planet faces a climate catastrophe that worsens every year. We have a cost-of-living crisis that has been bedevilling us since the disruption of supply chains, when the COVID-19 Pandemic triggered the shutdown of the majority of countries. Misinformation, disinformation and manipulation are relevant. The mental health crisis is causing hopelessness among many of our young people, and regrettably, crime and fear are on the rise. We’r...

In 2023 , Jamaica imported goods worth approximately $3.13 Billion from the United States, accounting for 41% of its total imports. In 2023, Jamaica's total exports to the United States amounted to $709 Million. In 2023 Jamaica’s Balance of Trade with the USA was Negative US$2.4 billion. That is what Jamaica pumped into the US economy in 2023. For the period of January to November 2024 , Jamaica's total imports from the United States were valued at US$6.7 billion. In 2024, Jamaica's total exports to the United States were valued at $376.34 million. In 2024 Jamaica’s Balance of Trade with the USA was Negative US$6.32366 billion. That is the amount Jamaica pumped into the US economy! Jamaica consistently runs a large balance of trade deficit with the USA. But the USA still placed 10% tariff on Jamaica’s small exports to the USA. The USA is punishing Jamaica even though we send billions to the USA every year, 20% at times over 30% of our GDP! This Continued Balance of Trad...

 

There is absolutely no reason why this evil, wicked and inhumane embargo against Cuba is still in place since 1958. Except to inflict maximum human suffering and hardship, solely for American entertainment. Cuba is a poor country and not a threat to the USA or anyone. Unless the USA see the ideals of resistance to oppression as a threat. This is not about the system of Government or based on any principles, this is just a mean-spirited act of a big country against a small country. It is not about dictatorship, because the USA have supported, aid and abetted many ruthless malevolent dictators including but not limited to, the Dictators of Haiti, Augusto Pinochet of Chile, and that Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista who came to power with American help. China is a one-party Communist Country and in 2021 alone, the U.S. investments made in China were valued at 118.19 billion U.S dollars and $123.9 billion in 2020.  China was the United States' 3rd largest goods export market in 202...

Americans are no longer pretending to care about, respect or believe in the rule of law, human rights and due process. The executive branch of the American Government is behaving like an absolute Monarch with a supreme leader that ignores all the other branches of Government and is not constrained by them as it runs amok. The executive branch ignores the rulings of the Judicial branch and threatens to have judges impeached if they go against the commands of the Maximum Overlord Leader. The legislative branch seems like ineffective spectators and the opposing party the Democratic party, is weak, divided and arguing among themselves. It is amazing to everyone watching how the president can teardown and implement hate with no checks and balance, something the United States use to pride itself on.  The Maximum Overlord Leader acts like a totalitarian despot signing his Royal Decrees also known as Executive Orders. The USA can no longer call itself the leader of the free world. It can n...
